💖 Guava Glow Shots
Guava + tonic + glitter fog (Makes 6–8 shots)
🍹 Ingredients:
For the Shots:
-
2 oz guava juice (pink or white – fresh or bottled)
-
1½ oz gin or vodka (gin adds botanical lift; vodka keeps it clean)
-
1 oz tonic water (for glow under blacklight)
-
½ oz lime juice (freshly squeezed)
-
½ oz simple syrup (optional – adjust to taste)
-
1 pinch edible shimmer dust (silver or pearl for fog effect)
-
Ice (for shaking)
Optional Garnish:
-
Tiny guava cube on cocktail pick
-
Lime wheel or twist
-
Glitter rim (edible glitter + sugar)
✨ Directions:
1. Prepare the Shot Glasses:
-
(Optional) Rim each shot glass with lime juice and dip in glitter sugar for a glam sparkle.
-
Chill in the freezer while mixing.
2. Mix the Shot:
-
In a shaker, combine:
-
Guava juice
-
Gin or vodka
-
Lime juice
-
Simple syrup (if needed)
-
A splash of tonic water
-
Edible shimmer dust
-
-
Add ice and shake well until frothy and cold.
3. Pour & Serve:
-
Strain into chilled shot glasses.
-
Just before serving, top each with a splash of tonic water to activate the glowing shimmer fog.
-
Serve immediately under blacklight if possible—the quinine in tonic will glow pale blue, and the shimmer dust will swirl like glowing fog.
